🌅🚢 Sarawak River Sunset Cruise Review: Kuching’s Golden Hour Magic!

#cruiseholiday
📍 Best for: Romantic vibes & iconic cityscape views!

Highlights:
✅ Stunning sunset backdrop – Watch the sky turn pink behind Kuching’s waterfront mosques & forts 🕌
✅ Local cultural shows – Traditional music & dance performances onboard
✅ Affordable luxury – Fares start at just ~RM50 (cheaper than dinner with a view!)

Downsides:
⚠️ Short duration (~1 hour) – Over just as you start relaxing
⚠️ Basic commentary – Minimal English explanations of landmarks
⚠️ Indoor seating only on budget boats (upgrade for open-air decks)

Pro Tips:
✔️ Book the 6PM cruise – Best golden light in dry season (Mar-Oct)
✔️ Arrive 30 mins early to snag window seats
✔️ Pair with waterfront dinner – Try Top Spot Food Court afterward!

Verdict: 4/5 ⭐ (Perfect intro to Kuching’s charm – go for the views, not the thrills).

Bonus: Spot irrawaddy dolphins if you’re lucky! 🐬
